URL - won't open in same window

Using Excel Engage 2008
I added a URL button
selected "window option = Open in THIS WINDOW"
but when I preview it always opens in another window.
Any recommendations how to fix this problem?
thank you,
Nancy G.

If you export to HTML/SWF and open the SWF in a web browser, you'll find that the "This Window" option does indeed open to the current tab/browser, and the other opens to a new tab/browser.
So, it seems the Preview environment does not support HTML browsing and is mostly for verifying the appearance and functionality of a model before sending it off to its production/real use environment.

Navigatetourl won't open in same window and in infinite refresh

I have a project that requires a skip button and to go to a specified url in the same window once the animation is complete. The button works, however the navigatetourl in the last frame is not behaving.
Here is the code I've placed in the last frame:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, fl_EnterFrameHandler);
function fl_EnterFrameHandler(event:Event):void
    //Start your custom code
    // This example code displays the words "Entered frame" in the Output panel.
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/dreamweaver/graded_assignments/index.html"), "_self");
    stop();
    // End your custom code
I've tried moving it to an earlier frame, placing a stop in the earlier frame, moving the stop command to after and so on. No matter what I do, the new url opens in a new window and is in a constant state of refresh. I also have the loop turned off but the animation begins to load the first frame again anyway. Please help. I've tried many fixed listed in forums that are all about the same with no different results. You can view my animation here: http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/flash/graded%20assignments/myintro.html
NOTE: You will have to close the browser to get the refresh to stop.
I've been working on this one issue two days and am at a complete loss.

Any thoughts on why my button now won't open in the same window? I'm getting a sense the built in code snippets don't work as they should, or I'm just making silly mistakes. Here's the code:
btnSkip1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
          // Start your custom code
          // This example code displays the words "Mouse clicked" in the Output panel.
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.student.nvcc.edu/home/amlayne/ite170/dreamweaver/graded_assignments/index.html"), "_self")
          // End your custom code

GetUrl won't open in same window?

Hello,
I am creating a website with a flash menu on each page. I am using getUrl code to target each page but I can't seem to get the pages to open in the same window. If I use '_new' or '_blank' the pages open in a new window as they should but if I use '_self' or '_top' nothing happens.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
Code: AS3
aboutBtn.buttonMode = true;
aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callAbout);
function callAbout(e:MouseEvent):void{
var url:String = "about.html";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
    navigateToURL(request, '_self');
} catch (e:Error) {
    trace("Error occurred!");

I think I have the right code this time but it's still not working. I tried it on a Mac and it works fine but it is no working on PC (Windows). Any idea why?
Thanks,

Pages won't open in same window

Hello! Total newbie here just getting my feet wet in iWeb.
Every time I publish, my pages after the home page open in new windows or tabs! How can I have each subsequent page open in the same window? Even "home" on other pages opens a new window! Obviously, this is not how I perceive a website to properly work.
I do see where you have the option to open a new window when selecting an "External Page" in the Link Inspector. However, I don't see the opposite option when selecting "One of My Pages". Also, I'm not using Mac.com if that has anything to do with it.
Take a look to see what I mean: http://overcat.net/home.html
Thanx so much for whatever help anyone can provide.

Hi Guys. Thanks so much for replying.
Cedric - I'm in 08. I posted in the 06 forum first by mistake. And I basically don't know "how" I built the site. I just kind of poked around like I usually do, trial by many errors.
Roddy - I've had the folder and index on my desktop. I hadn't previously uploaded the index and just did so but nothing's changed. My host company doesn't have an actual control panel. I have a feeling it's not a great one. At least for a beginner. Is there anything on their site I should be looking for?
Cyclo - I hadn't nothiced the Hear button working correctly, since I haven't actually been working there yet! You're right it works. I guess I do have to rebuild the text buttons as you say. I guess this is the down fall of not knowing HTML.
I really appreciate all the input folks.

Mail 6.3 will not close and won't open an interactive window

A day or so ago I tried deleting about 4 messages off mail and then shut the app. A note came up and stated the messages could not be sent to the delete folder and then proceeded to close the window but the application remained as opened. I tried to quit the app from the dock but it wouldn't close it. I then tried shutting the system down and mail stopped it from closing. I have a Mac Book Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and tried to let the battery drain to let shut down that way to no avail. I've tried opening another window in Mail but it won't open a functional window (preview screen will not display highlighted message). How do I force a close or bring mail back to use it properly?

How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0, How can I use terminal to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0

In Lion, the default of pressing a link on a web page, is to open the page in a new tab. In itself, I do like this because this is what I did for 19 out of any 20 links, which I command+clicked in previous Safari versions.
However, there is a snag to this behaviour. Most (all?) secure site do not like links to be opened in a new tab. For example, when I am doing Web banking, The the linked page doesn’t open in new tab. Rather I get a page telling me my login session is expired. Probably a security measure instituted by my bank.
I since found out, that a command-click opens lings in the same window. Theoretically that solves the problem, if I would think about this all the time. I don't. Old habits die slowly.
Is there a terminal command to make links open in same window the default behaviour, as it was in Safari 5.0.

Hi Eric,
I got it figured out today, basically you have to load the Parallel Flash Loader first into FPGA ram. It is a special .sof file (pfl_epXXXX.sof) based on your FPGA. Code is actually pretty straight forward, using the Sys Exec VI. Use the windows based programmer to generate the .cdf file that identifies your FPGA, attached Flash and .pof file .
Syntax was odd going into Sys Exec. Note the extra "C" in in front of the "quartus_prm.exe" I have no idea why that was needed, but I was getting an error until I just happened to put it in there (Blind Luck :-))
I used a 2 element array going into a four loop
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG -o P;pfl_epXXXX.sof
cmd /cquartus_pgm.exe -c USB-BLASTER -m JTAG S_FPGA.cdf
Defining the working director C:\altera\12.1sp1\qprogrammer\bin
And added match string with "Successfully performed operation" on the output in the loop to make sure everything loaded correctly then adding the array to give me a overall P/F
To anyone doing this same thing Altera's documentation is poor to say the least. It took most of a week to figure this out Not allowed to upload code, so anyone wanting details just post here and I will try to help. This was painful, with lots of lessons learned.
Thanks for the interest though
Best regards John

Menubuilder- Open in Same Window?

I have the advanced link setting for my links as "Open in
same window." The links continue to open in new windows. Is this
feature not desinged to launch the files in the same window as the
menu. Please help. Thanks.

Hi MissDona
I'm going to say "it depends". Normally, this is the default
behavior. But it likely will depend on the output type you are
creating. For example (and I'm somewhat assuming you fall into this
category) if you create .EXE output from MenuBuilder, a new
instance or window always opens, as MenuBuilder packages up the
Flash Player inside the .EXE. Thus, this version of the player runs
from a temporary location and has no clue about other movies and
whatnot.
Cheers... Rick

Can't get URL to open in same window

I am using Flash ActionScript3 - My banner has 3 images, each
displays for ~5 seconds. I have each image linked to a web page
with more info about each image. The problem is that I can't get
the URLs to open in the same window! Each click opens another
browser window. All attempts to resolve this using suggestions
found in my googling for the answer results in error messages. Any
help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's my script for one of the images:

In getURL you had a method parameter _self, look URLRequest
definition in Flash help to see if it receives a similar parameter.
_self is for link to open in same browser window, _blank is used
for a new window.

Flash URL open in same window

Hello. I have a flash slide on my site. The slide has next and previous buttons to either move to the next slide or the previous slide. Each slide is only an image. When you click a particular image it takes you to the page specific to the image you clicked.
My issue is this:
When you click the image, it opens the page in a new window. I would like to have the window open in the same window, but having issues figuring out how to do it.
The flash is controled by an image.xml script. I've added target= "_blank" to the xml, but the URLs are still opening in a seperate window. Any ideas how to get this done? I didnt create the flash, is it possible the issues lies within the .fla file?
Below is a sample of images.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<images>
     <pic>
        <image>imagesimage.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>
        <url target="_blank"> http://www.something.com</url>
    </pic>
     <pic>
        <image>images/image.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>
        <url target="_blank">http://www.something.com</url>
    </pic>
    <pic>
        <image>images/image.jpg</image>
        <caption>Some Service</caption>

Ned, thanks for the resonse. I've changed the xml file from _blank to _self, but still openes in a seperate window. In Firefox it opens in new tab. In IE it openes in a completely new window.
I've cleared my cache, closed the browser, and tried again. Still openes in seperate window. Think its within the action script?

Force Flash weblink to open in SAME window as movie

I'm using Adobe Encore CS4 to create a project that I want to export to Flash. However, I want one of my menus to be replaced by a web site.
The goal is to have a flow such that:
Menu 1.
<User Clicks Item #1>
Timeline plays
user is forwarded to a website
I have implemented this as follows:
Menu 1.
Button 1 --> Timeline --> Menu 2
on menu 2, I set the description to:
<weblink href="webpage.html">
as suggested in the manual.
This works, apart from the fact that after the timeline ends, the flash movie goes black, and a new window is opened with webpage.html (which is blocked by popup blockers unless specifically allowed).
What I would like is for webpage.html to be opened in the same window, so that the flash movie is no longer visible.
I have tried modifying the description field to
<weblink href="webpage.html" target="_self">
but it doesn't help. In the generated AuthoredContent.xml, I've tried changing the <action> item:
<Action type='Link' url='webpage.html'>
to:
<Action type='Link' url='webpage.html' target='_self'>
to no avail. I can't seem to find any documentation on these fields.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm not aware to force this behaviour, but if it is a regular link you can drag the link onto the same tab heading you are currently looking at. Obviously this won't work for form submissions where there is no link to drag as such

Wix Hyperlinks Won't Open in 'Same Page' - iWeb 09

I recently built a flash intro for my personal website (www.justinmiller.info) using Wix. It's basically some photos of me that you can hover over; the photo expands and you can click on it to be directed to one of the pages on my site.
I have embedded the code in iWeb, published the site, and the rollover effects work fine. The issue is that when I set the "go to URL" of each picture (in Wix) to open up in the same window, the links do not work. I've tried with both Safari and Firefox. If I set the links to open in NEW windows they will work, but this is hardly convenient for someone browsing my website. This one has me stumped.
My question, therefore, is why won't the links from my Wix widget open in the same window. Does anyone have any advice / tips on how I can make this work?
I should also mention that when I test my widget in Wix' "preview" pane, my links work as they are supposed to (either in same page or new page, as I have them set). It's only when I embed my widget in iWeb that they cease to open in the same page.
Cheers,
Justin

Hello Quan,
Check the HTML source of the web template and include
TARGET = _SELF in the <A> tag
Example
<A href=your url *TARGET = _SELF*> Report Name </A>
This will open the new report in the same window.
[Thanks|http://chandranonline.blogspot.com/]
